Diabetes.

HEALTHY U was developed at Stanford University and has helped

hundreds of thousands of people improve their health and quality of life

over the past thirty years. Studies have shown that the program results in

significant, measurable improvements in movement, symptoms,

depression, fatigue, disability and activity limitations.

As one class member said, “the course exposed me to new ways of

thinking about myself and the medical problems that affected my life. It

gave me new strategies for keeping depression and pain at bay, ways to

relax my mind and body, and eye-opening ideas about exercise that I

could do. Through weekly action plans, I began to feel successful,

seeing in a positive light those things about which I had been hopeless

before. Instead of trying to fight/cure my chronic illnesses, I now realize

that I can do things to live better with them.”

Smart Driver Course—AARP

Since 1979, AARP Driver Safety has met the needs of older drivers

through educational programs led by more than 4,000 volunteers and sup-

ported by a myriad of resources; however, they aren’t the same programs

and resources that were available nearly 35 years ago. AARP Driver Safe-

ty has continued to evolve with the times and, as of January 1, 2014,

AARP Driver Safety has launched the new and improved AARP Smart

Driver Course.

Why a new course?

A lot has changed since many American drivers first got their driver’s li-

cense. The roads have changed. Cars and the technology inside them have

changed. Even the people behind the wheel have changed. As drivers, if

we don’t keep up with those changes, we put others or even ourselves at

risk.

Participants are awarded a Certificate of Attendance for drivers 50 and

older. Please check with your insurance company for possible discounts.

Refreshments are served. Lunch is on your own.

Friday - January 16th - Union Township 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. (break for 1 hr. lunch) Cost: $15 (pay instructor)

National Cherry Blossom Celebration

Join us on a very special trip to our Nation’s

Capital! In 1912, an incredible gift of 3,000

cherry blossom trees was bestowed on

Washington, D.C. by Tokyo Japan. These are

the trees that now turn the Tidal basin into a

sea of pink each spring for all to enjoy! A

century later, The National Cherry Blossom Festival, a fantastic celebra-

tion, is a byproduct of that generous gift! We’ll join in the celebration with

reserved seats to the spectacular National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade.

Your premium seats in the telecast area are right where the parade

marchers stop to perform (much like Macy’s parade on T.V.)! You’ll be

able to visit the Smithsonian Museums and sightsee at Washington’s most

interesting attractions. Don’t miss it! April 10th - 13th, 2015
